First and foremost, the coffee is really good, super smooth and well balanced. The location is close to my home and the space has a really zen and simple design. The name “Coffee for Sasquatch,” is truly amazing and their tip jars are funny and creative! Not to mention, the staff is pretty to look at and also very hospitable.” 829 Broadway Santa Monica, CA 90401 310.395.1097 Chef Caroline Concha of Beelman’s “I love having coffee while I’m riding the Amtrak to Union Station.
